  1. [R8] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US So fun I play this every day: Best part is if you’re patient about playing the hard and super hard rounds and keep trying, the game seems to lower the challenge level eventually (at least to me). Otherwise I would have deleted it. Patience = $0. I love the new mini games too. I only wish the Tidy Mart one lasted longer since it has so many moves and you have to earn a lot of gloves. Even playing
  2. [R9] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Love it, but why the change?: I have enjoyed this game for a long time, but the removal of the spinning wheel and the chance to earn ways to help with the game, is confusing. How can we now do that? Please return the spinning wheel!
  3. [R12] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Spin wheel: Please bring it back!!!
  4. [R15] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Don't like the new gift box update: I have played this game for some time and have always enjoyed it but with the latest update where they got rid of the spinning wheel and the chance to watch 5 ads to receive different rewards, my enjoyment has plummeted with only one gift box to open per day. I enjoyed getting those extra rewards to help with tough levels and looked forward to getting them each
  5. [R11] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Bubble pop!!!: So good when you need to have a rest . It’s calm too and no skill needed!
  6. [R13] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Restart from level 1: I had to delete all apps and restart all apps from phone, I only play 4 games. All but this game downloaded to where I left off. I was over level 4000 when this happened!!! I am Babi down to level 1 for the second time on this phone!!
  7. [R37] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 2/5 · US Not working: This game has not worked since I did the update a couple of days ago
  8. [R40] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Disappointed.: If you get to a certain level Or points the game will freeze and you either have to start over or quit.
  9. [R3] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US This game cheats: Sucks up your money whenever you’re ahead
  10. [R6] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Money grab: Play until they make you pay then move on. Same as all the other bubble games.
  11. [R10] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Watch For This Site To Steal Your Money: Extremely Bad
  12. [R4] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Deleted: Fun game until the ads start. The adds are longer than the game sessions. Joke!
  13. [R16] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Not fun anymore: Too many ads now, you can go days without moving through the game, boring
  14. [R18] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Too many ads!: You get to a point where it is impossible to finish a level without watching multiple ads. Even more annoying are the ads that freeze or bait and switch with the close “x” taking you to a web site.
  15. [R42] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Good game but: Entirely way too many ads. Forced ads to continue. Spent 75% of game time watching these ads
  16. [R1] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Reposting because review was deleted: Not sure what happened to my original review? I got a response, came here and found no review so I am reposting. Their Customer Service treated me very rudely simply for inquiring about some clarity for their newest event. They talked down to me and came off extremely condescending. Not to mention that this is replacing spinning the wheel for multiple prizes n
  17. [R56] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Addicting: Great customer service: I had an issue with the game and reached out at first there was an issue and then they looked further into the problem and found there was no violation and issued my coin’s all in less then 24hrs. Highly recommend…
  18. [R82] Bubble Shooter 2/5 · US Still not running correctly: Every time I close this app, my name and emoji change, my team changes, and points change etc. I’ve signed in, signed out, notified support, I’ve done everything necessary to have it corrected with zero success. I have a few million coins I can’t use, my infinite lives went down to 5, and I now have ads again after paying for no ads. Used to be a good fun time buster…
  19. [R106] Bubble Shooter 1/5 · US No way to contact support!: With the newest update, they removed the option to write to customer support! Ridiculous!
  20. [R64] Bubble Shooter 1/5 · US Horrible: Unless you pay to not have ads this game is horrible. An ad pops up every game, while you’re playing the game SHEIN kept redirecting me to their website in the middle of me playing. The worst money hungry game I’ve ever played.
  21. [R30] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 3/5 · US Fun but limited without paying: I’ve enjoyed this game. It is a challenge and interesting however, after about 500 rounds, it’s obvious that you must pay in order to continue any further as the puzzles become impossible without extra paid for weapons.
  22. [R100] Bubble Shooter 1/5 · US Used to be fun: I have been playing this game for years. Recently it has fallen off massively just like every other mobile game in existence. You are never given enough bubbles to pass levels, requiring you to either spend coins or watch videos to advance. There are ads both displayed at the bottom of the screen during gameplay and played in between levels, which never used to be a thing. It is a
  23. [R19] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Do not update: I wished I had never updated this game. Every time I update this game on any of my devices, I always lose coins or the ability to gain coins. when this game first come out for every 10 games that you won, they gave you coins. The extra powers that they gave in the last update brings absolutely nothing to your game Be sure to spin the wheel for 10 coins
  24. [R34] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 1/5 · US Hate the new version!: After 3000 levels, I did the update. I hate the new version sadly will be removing the ap. I did truly enjoy the game, but the ads got quite lengthy and multiple ads at a time and like I said, the whole look of the new updated version isn’t something that appealed to me.
